Pretty sure this means it's a 12hp

It says Kohler on the side so I'm guessing it is 12ph?

Kohler made 4-16 HP single cylinders.  There are spec numbers on the engine telling it’s details, and there should be a tag on the tractor telling it’s model.  :handgestures-thumbupright:

That's a big block. So if it's a original unmolested then it's a 10 or 12HP

I'd like to see the other side. Couple of clues I see: hydro, starter/generator (missing), floor boards, location of parking brake handle, makes me think it's a 1969 Electro 12. The hood looks wrong, and what's curious is the ignition switch on the left.

Electro had an electric PTO clutch, Charger had the manual PTO clutch so it is likely to be a charger.

Toggle switch on the dash is for the electric clutch. Charger had a Tecumseh. 1971 Charger had a Kohler with new type starter.

Looks like a 1277 with foot boards instead of stirrups.
